The differences between Hyundai Elantra, Avante, and Verna lie in their body dimensions, wheelbase, engines, and prices. Below are the specific details of these differences: Body dimensions differ: Elantra: The vehicle dimensions (length × width × height in mm) are 4610 × 1800 × 1450. Avante: The vehicle dimensions (length × width × height in mm) are 4570 × 1775 × 1445. Verna: The vehicle dimensions (length × width × height in mm) are 4542 × 1775 × 1490. Wheelbase differs: Elantra: Wheelbase (mm) 2700. Avante: Wheelbase (mm) 2685. Verna: Wheelbase (mm) 2650. Engines differ: Elantra: Equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine. Avante: Equipped with a 1.6L Gamma engine and a 1.8L Nu engine. Verna: Equipped with a 1.6L Alpha-CVVT engine.
I'm quite familiar with the evolution of Hyundai models. The YueDong is an older generation in the Elantra family, roughly the fifth-generation product that was popular around 2008. It features a rounded, classic design with practical but less tech-savvy interiors, focusing mainly on basic configurations at an economical price. The LangDong, representing the sixth generation launched in 2012, boasts a more streamlined exterior, improved handling, and significantly better noise control, making it suitable for those who prefer a steady drive. The LingDong is the newer generation post-2017, the seventh-generation model, with a dynamic look like eagle-eye headlights, efficient and fuel-saving engines, and advanced features like smart driving assists including automatic braking, offering much stronger technological appeal. When choosing a car, I believe the biggest difference lies in the model years—newer isn't always better, but older models are cheaper and more cost-effective to maintain.
